Amazing, amazing eyeshadow. It's matte, pure as night black. I had MAC Carbon and swapped it away because it was such a PITA to work with, but NYX Black cures all of Carbon's evils. I feel like I...

SO blendable and pigmented like all other NYX eyeshadows..... a great MAC knock-off. Cons: This particular eyeshadow was very delicate and crumbled a lot. Plus, it completely irritated my eyes when...
